Anyone here coming this way for a holiday, at the end of next month?

Hi, I call it a 'Rhino' cos it flipped a tankmate over the other evening. :roll:

I've only got one cos I was not really into big corys. I was at Ben's when I took a peek at it and fell in love. :lol: It's been there for quite awhile, so I checked that it's been eating (Ben fed live bloodworms to ...

Well, at least my Semiaquilus knows that those tablets are food.

Just moments after I posted this question, it blocked a tablet from its 6 tankmates and proceeded to 'sit' on it!

Hi, I just got my first 'big corydoras' this morning, a C. semiaquilus.

Will they normally accept sinking tablets, or only accept frozen or live food?

Thank you.

Hi Stuey, what's the water temperature in those tanks? I've been told by one of the aquatic plants suppliers, that Anubias sp. may not do well in temperature over 28deg celcius.

I've had nice Anubias sp. before, when I'd only 1 light tube in an old tank. But ever since I started having dual tubes ...

Hello, I'm from Singapore.

Cheers!

Hi there, it's C. Barbatus, I believe?

I've read recently that these corydoras need a tank that's at least 120cm x 50cm, cos they're big. They're a little territorial too, among themselves though...

I've no personal experience with them, simply because I can't afford a tank just to keep them... I ...

Ha, I've this rule for my plecs:

I feed your in the morning, make sure I don't see any leftover that evening. I feed you at night, make sure you finish everything the next morning. Otherwise, I'll give you a tablet less, during the next feed.

Yeah, I think it doesn't really work on 'finish in 5 ...

Hey, I've heard of that joke, all the way here in Singapore!

I love the L046 idea for the t-shirt. But there should be an outline of a pleco, otherwise people around may think that the t-shirt's from the zoo - of a four-legged zebra!

Hmm... I'll go for C. aeneus, C. paleatus and C. sterbai.

Ah, I won't mind getting a couple of t-shirts and probably mouse mats too!

Thanks. Looks like I'm going to have a collection of all the cory tablets/pallets available locally!

Excuse me... Philtre, from which LFS can I check out on this KB pallets? Thanks!

Hi Allen, that's about the same plecos as those I'd which sent my plants (amazon swords, water wisteria, etc) floating off!

I can only trust them with java ferns and anubias sp. now.

Thanks!

König Löwe, at least your Echinodorus bleheri was given the chance to grow again. When I once put this plant into my pleco tank, they chewed on the stems and sent the leaves floating! :( So I guess it's not really possible to have a tank full of plants and yet have a good variety of plecos in it ...

Thanks for your advice, Dinyar.

My pleco tank's with 2mm gravel before I took them out cos I found difficulties in clearing the poop.

Now it's bare bottom, but I'm looking into the fesibility of having river sand.

Cheers!

Oh, so my suspicion on the reliability of the Aqualog has been confirmed!

Thanks, Yann.

L014a, L015, (L018), L046, L047, (L083a), L128, L134, L177, L191, L200, L204, L248, (L262), L264

Hi all, these are the plecos that I've kept. Those in ( ) are already in pleco-heaven though... :(

Apart from L046, which of these will not chew on plants like Vallisneria sp., Echinodorus bleheri and ...

Hi Caril,

Yes, I started keeping plecos last May when the year's first lot of L046 started coming in. Now I've 3 L046 with my Corydoras and the rest of my other plecos (L200, L128, etc) have their own tank.

I was using the Waterlife brand of medicine, so I'm not sure what dosage is Sera's. Will ...

Yeah, we love them all!

I'll go with C. rabauti, but the C. panda has always been cute too.

Cheers!

The ABCs - Aspidoras, Brochis & Corydoras!

caril, dosage for the medicine should be stated on the box or bottle? different medicines may have different guidelines on dosage. care to tell us which ick medicine you've got there?

what's the temperature of your tank now? unless your tank is in an airconditioned room, i think it should be 27deg ...

L129? The Aqualog on Loricariidae says it's a Peckoltia sp. "Stripes-Peckoltia".

I found my L262 on the floor one morning, recently. It's still breathing but its body was already quite stiff. I put it into the hospital tank but it died that evening.

It's been with me for a few months, so I figured that it probably jumped out while being chased by one of the other plecos...
